Hi, I'm Lauren!
I am a user experience designer with an interest in visual design, inclusive design, and UX education. My passion lies in tackling the intricacies of designing enterprise software, where creative solutions are essential to effectively address complex challenges.
I have collaborated closely with teams across various industries, including healthcare, nonprofits, and arts and education, guiding projects from conception through the stages of ideation, wireframing, prototyping, and ultimately, production.
Doing Work that Matters
I am driven by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through my work. I am particularly drawn to collaborating with organizations that are dedicated to making a difference in the world.
​
Design has the power to positively influence people's lives, and I am committed to leveraging my skills and expertise to contribute to projects that align with my values. Whether it's creating healthcare software that's actively shaping the way patient's receive care, or conducting user research and testing with nonprofits focused on substance abuse treatment, I am always eager to tackle challenges that have the potential to create positive change.
Education
Before I became a designer, I earned a bachelor of arts from Vassar College. I graduated with a major in English and a minor in Religious Studies. I’m super interested in learning how people communicate and how their backgrounds shape their beliefs.
​
I completed the Google UX Design certificate during my senior year and quickly became enamored with the idea of designing impactful, intuitive, and accessible products. Now I get to spend every day doing just that and I couldn't be happier!​

Coworker Feedback
"I'd put Lauren under the rockstar category of designers... Extremely sharp, learns very quickly and receives feedback and makes changes effortlessly. She's nothing short of amazing."
- Product Lead
"Lauren has been fantastic to work with. Very impressive insights given her tenure and was able to get us a very beautiful mockup... Even better, most of the changes we made can be achieved using current build and functionality, so customers can get it today. She continues to own her work, work really quickly with deadlines and promises to be a strong owner for Cadence in the future."
